Our Vermont Home

Thought I would take a minute and show everyone our home while in the states.  Having an RV is what allows us to keep our expenses low.  It has forced us to simplify, you can't have too much stuff in such a small space.  When we got our RV, a 93 Fleetwood Terry 36v, it needed a bit of work.  Here are some before and after photos to show what we have done, and how we made it into our home away from home.

It was quite a bit of work, and we owe a lot of thanks to Riva's Dad for all his help.  We now have a nice place to call home while we are in the states.  Next year, we will be at Sportsmans campground in Addison for the summer.

Returning to Panama!

Just updating everyone to our plans. Its official! We will be returning this fall, Nov 30th and coming back May 3rd. We just bought our airfare today. We were able to get nonstop flight from Newark to San Jose CR.
We will be renting a small 3 bedroom house, and will be sharing the house with a good friend Aaron. There are a bunch of others coming for small trips that we look forward to seeing while down there.
We will continue the blog, although not as frequently. Probably once a week. Take care, and come visit!

Were home!

Just a quick note to let everyone know we are finally home. We will post more tomorrow about our final leg of the trip, the great, and not so great, and how bad it hurts to run with 35lbs of backpack on your sunburned back through a whole airport! See you soon.

Snorkeling, getting ready to come home

Yesterday we went on a snorkeling trip, and got to see a number of different sights. First off was dolphin bay, where we saw lots of dolphins, including a mother and baby.





Next we went to a snorkeling spot, I forget what it is called, but we all got in the water. We found out that Jacobs mask doesn't fit quite right, of course nobody's does when you have a huge smile!


I had a run in with some fire coral, which I barely brushed up against, but instantly started burning, and blistered. Ouch!


We next went to red frog beach, named so because of the red poison dart frogs that are common in that area. The surf was pretty rough, and we had quite a bit of fun playing there. We also got a lot of sun, and we are sore today.








Today, we are taking it easy. Tomorrow we will catch an early bus to Panama city for our red eye flight Tuesday morning. We will be at the assembly this coming weekend, so see you all soon!

Fishing trip with the Lees

On Thursday, we went fishing with the Lees at a trout farm. Kinda seemed like cheating, as you just have to drop your line under water and a fish would grab on. We caught 8 within a half an hour. Yummy!
